TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Sometimes a performance problem can be easily solved by checking seemingly apparent (but often over-
looked) possibilities. Before arranging for service, check these items. It could save you time and money.

QUICK SERVICE CHECK LIST

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE REMEDY

Try a new channel, if OK, then possible station trouble.

Is TV plugged in?
Power at outlet?

Is TV’s POWER button on?

Is antenna connected to terminal on the back of the set?

If outside antenna is being used, check for broken wire.

Check for local interference.

Turn off with POWER button and then turn it on after about a minute.

Adjust COLOR control.

Adjust CONTRAST & BRIGHT control.
Check batteries in Remote Control.
Move the TV away from the nearby appliances which have magnetism. 
Turn off using the POWER button, then turn it on again 30 minutes later or so.

Closed Caption Problem

Possible Remedy

My TV is showing captions that are 
misspelled.

My TV will not show the text in its entirety 
or there is a delay of what is being said.

My captions are scrambled with white
boxes on the TV screen.

My program guide listed a TV show as
being closed captioned 
but none of the captions were displayed.

My prerecorded videotape does not show
any captions. The tape box mentions it
being closed captioned.

My TV screen shows a black box on certain
channels.

You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect-
ed. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words
because of the normal time available for editing the captions.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-
nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute.
If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that
the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given.
Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions
will be lost.

The videotape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
copying process.

You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION
[OFF].

CABINET CLEANING

Wipe the front panel and other exterior sur-
faces of the TV with a soft cloth immersed
in lukewarm water and wrung dry.

Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray
insecticide liquid near the TV. Such chemi-
cals may cause damage and discoloration to
the exposed surfaces.

V-CHIP SET UP

V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their children from watching inappropriate material on TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited
movies on premium cable channels and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access
to programming if the program's rating meets or exceeds the limitations you select. In this case,
"PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message appears on the TV screen.
To block certain ratings, follow the steps below.

Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or accord-
ing to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set
your limits in both places (MPAA RATING and TV RATING).

You cannot access the menu when the "PROTECTED PROGRAM by ..." message appears. In
this case, change to an unblocked channel, then press the MENU button.
